Offical Ori and the Blind Forest Discussion.

Ok so the more I see of this game its obviously GotY. Its hare for me to say this about any game but Ori seems to lack nothing. It excels at all things it should in its genre. There is no other game that's on the horizon that I'm more excited for.. I mean its even 1080p 60fps they went as far as to implement a checkpoint system into the gameplay strategy. I'm just begging for more. Is anyone else in love like I am??

Rime looks boring as fuck. Lol maybe if I knew the story and/or objective. But watching videos make me think "I live in Colorado, if I wass do that shit I'll do it in real life"

It's not like we know the story of Ori either, all we know about is a dead step mom and a pissed off owl.

And that u can donkey Kong barrel blast directionally, if you wanna climb mountains and shit that's all u bruh, I did enough of that in Edmonton.

Ori is a puzzle based platformer with exploration, multiple unlockable power ups/skills, 3 branching ability sets, and a coming of age story of poor Ori lossing his mom and fighting the evil that threatens his Forest home. We paly as he goes from weak and afraid to strong and brave.. I got all of that by watching 3 videos. Rime I just see a kid running around in the great outdoors, climbing shit..

Like I said I don't know the details of Rime from what I'm seen. No badguys, no objective, why am I doing anything?

You missed the videos about him dealing with those weird dead spirits he was trying to ward away and the giant Door Keyhole that he is trying to reach? Same with the smaller door keyhole he found ruined on the beach.

I'd also like to point out the fact that he has a crown on his head.

The story elements are there it's just their not as plain to see as Ori, which I'm fine with.

The moment I heard the name from the trademark, I knew this game was going to be interesting. Once they started showing the footage at e3 I knew it was ori and the blind forest. Can't wait for this game.

Too many people online spoil games as is.

Seems like its trying to be too artsy and leave a ton to the imagination. Its Wind Waker + Shadow of the Colossus - most of what makes those games awesome = Rime. A kid running around trying to make it to a key hole...

Sorry I fell asleep lmfao. I bet they'll use the phrase "emotinal journey" in 8/10 Rime reviews lol! Ori soooooo shits on Rime. I'll bet you 5 USD that it will have a better metacritic score.

Edmonton is like the flattest place on earth. There are no mountains within 300 km of Edmonton.

The terrain in and around Edmonton is generally flat to gently rolling, with ravines and deep river valleys, such as the North Saskatchewan River valley.[31] The Canadian Rockies are located approximately 220 km (140 mi) to the southwest.

Say whattt? I went to Banff and Jasper national Park way more than I ever wanna comment on, it's where I had my first face to face with a brown bear, fun times.

I lived in Edmonton for 8 years... It's on a prairie. Banff and Jasper are hundreds of kilometres away, in the Rocky Mountains.

Your taking my general statement way too literally Dignity, I lived in Edmonton for 11 years, me bouncing between Calgary and the parks just has more to do with my feelings on Alberta, but do you really think people would even know I was talking about Canada if I said alberta? Especially people in the US?

Well, I doubt saying Edmonton would be any different. Saying Edmonton has mountains is just wrong.

Not you but I hear this shit all the time from Europeans and Canadians, "oh you Americans only think everything is in America." sounds a lot like your statement " "do you really think people would even know I was talking about Canada if I said alberta? Especially people in the US? " It sounds like an insult to Americans doesn't matter if you intended it to be or not.

Canada Anyway I reilize what Mike did. Being that I'm stoked for Ori he brought up a mundane looking game knowing I was gonna likely rip into it. But I just reilized in the gamescom trailer I just watched its Published by Sony.. He tried to bait a console war. I mean they're not even similar in the slightest way why compare the 2? Jackk said..

The art style/visuals, the music, the story, the old school platforming controls with puzzles and a testing difficulty... This is shaping up to be a really great game! I just hope we get that release date soon.
